Caveman Documentaries

3 comments

Video documentaries about Engine 40, Tower Ladder 35.


Two video documentaries about life inside the quarters of FDNY’s Engine Company 40 and Tower Ladder Company 35. The first one is Charlie Rose’s interview with “Firehouse” author David Halberstam.
The second is an independent filmmaker covering “a day in the life.”
Click and remember.


And then go read – or reread – Halberstam’s “Firehouse”.
